Package: bonnie++
Version: 1.97.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Russel,
I'm sorry to file yet another package description (1) bug. It is indented
by two spaces instead of one. Thus the description is formatted like an
enumeration (2) and not like normal text as the prior version (3).


The current description is:

Description: Hard drive benchmark suite
  Based on the old Bonnie benchmark, Bonnie++ is a toolkit for testing
  hard drive and file system performance.
  .
  As well as bonnie++ itself and some output filters, the suite provides
  some other benchmarking tools including zcav, which can compare the
  raw-read performance of different zones on a drive, and gives output
  suitable for gnuplot.


The description should be:

Description: hard drive benchmark suite

 hard drive and file system performance.
 .
 As well as bonnie++ itself and some output filters, the suite provides
 some other benchmarking tools including zcav, which can compare the
 raw-read performance of different zones on a drive, and gives output
 suitable for gnuplot.

without capitalization in the first line as in the patch provided in
(4) and discussed in the Developer's Reference (5).

Kind regards,
   Martin
